After the publication of Syria Speaks. Art and Culture from the Frontline, an anthology by Saqi Books (London/Beirut) in June 2014, including excerpts of Aboud Saeed’s „The Smartest Guy on Facebook“, the review on the web magazine Baraka Bits starts off with praising Saeed’s „tenderly satirical work“. The anthology already was rewarded the English Pen Award and is a collection of artistic and journalistic works that were created in the spirit of the Syrian revolution.
